#

nice of you helping your mom!

fluid edge
#

livid fossil
#

Yeah we need food in house so we went to Costco

rose jewel
livid fossil
#

Take and goes to rapport storage

#

But you don’t need them right now

fluid edge
#

ok thanks

thorny beacon
#

is there any specific time we supposed to use these or can we just use them whenever and oonga boonga?

limpid obsidian
thorny beacon
#

so i'll use these scrolls + solars on 6orbs?

limpid obsidian
#

Yep

thorny beacon
limpid obsidian
#

Assuming you have enough AH left to use all

#

Note that they only go 1-10

#

So if you're mostly done with +10 you might need to use em on normal taps too, cuz they're character bound

thorny beacon
#

wait u can use them on normal taps and not just on AH?

limpid obsidian
#

"normal" as in non-6-orb bonus

thorny beacon
#

ahhh

#

yeah i have 0 AH done on my 1552 alt so i'm good

fluid edge
#

why my world question disappear?

#

i need to reach 635 power i remember for go next mission

#

#

livid fossil
#

anyone on NE server who can quick help with Rovlen?

rose jewel
#

NAE is a region, you need to specify your server, besides there is an NAE chat channel here, you would have more chances finding people there

obsidian valve
#

i thought arkesia tour gave those drops too 👀

rose jewel
#

What is rovlen even

livid fossil
#

Think it did

rose jewel
#

What boss

livid fossil
#

Wb

obsidian valve
#

i forgot which map it was on lol

rose jewel
#

But was it luterra or vern or

livid fossil
#

I was thinking

obsidian valve
#

yeah it's a REALLY early one

balmy plank
#

Luterra world boss somewhere

stable needle
#

yes, its really early in luterra

humble matrix
stable needle
#

in the bilbirn forest

livid fossil
#

It should be easy to do

stable needle
#

sorry, im just new here lol

livid fossil
#

Though

humble matrix
livid fossil
#

That true

obsidian valve
#

it's ok, i'm just not in game right now and having trouble remembering lol

stable needle
#

i can barely get it down to 23 before it disappears

rose jewel
#

Completely ignore those bosses for now, they are not needed

stable needle
#

lolol

rose jewel
#

You can come back later and kill it in 3 seconds

livid fossil
#

Unless they did not the tour and just fully committed to going through it

rose jewel
#

Yes I know it sux and the immersion is killed but the game in it's early stages is just ded and not needed

obsidian valve
#

yeah i guess the biggest question is why do you need it now 👀 , agreed at coming back to it later or just waiting for tour

stable needle
#

:/

rose jewel
#

New = kill thingies because loot or rewards

#

Not needed here

livid fossil
#

The drop is from tour

#

Anyway

obsidian valve
#

yeah tour is easist way

rose jewel
#

You get skyrocketed to the next story for a while

#

And if someone helps you they will kill it in 1 second flat or less

#

So, just keep doing the story for now soldier

obsidian valve
rose jewel
#

Later on you will get a sort of quests that will give a lot of collectibles from the early continents

#

No need to kill anything or spend 2 months running around for nothing

stable needle
#

i just like to do my adventure tome. its fun. but if no one can help. thats okay. thx

wet dagger
#

can people from other NAE servers help?

#

I can get on and kill it for you

#

but im in balthor

rose jewel
#

It's not that they can't (I can't I'm west lol) it's that it's just not needed

#

And the time will get mostly completed later with the thing we're mentioning

faint root
#

do chaos gates still give gold and secret dungeon maps?

stable needle
rose jewel
#

And no it's server specific

modern fable
#

how can i get more ?>

rose jewel
livid fossil
#

Embers and I don’t know if the maps were taken away

rose jewel
#

Maps disappeared

livid fossil
#

He said gates

rose jewel
#

It's a 2 minutes adventure

livid fossil
#

My bad

obsidian valve
rose jewel
faint root
#

the loot preview says it gives gold lol

rose jewel
#

Again, sorry but getting adv time earlier is not really what people do here, they skip it and come back later when they are stronger

rose jewel
#

And it's a miserable amount

obsidian valve
#

adventure tome is one of those things you do inbetween dailies and weeklies, but story first pretty much KEKDog

stable needle
#

.-.

obsidian valve
#

saves more time in the longrun

rose jewel
#

It's the reality

#

Aaaaaaaaall the early game is beyond dead, a desert

#

No one is there, not even bots

obsidian valve
#

true lol

rose jewel
#

99.5% of people enjoy endgame much more

#

Sorry no one could help but you didn't even told us your server

#

And I'm west

clever oyster
#

hi again, how big is the reward difference between solo mode and normal legion raids?

rose jewel
#

20% more hone mats, 20% less gold and it's bound, for amounts check pins

clever oyster
#

thanks

elder solar
#

No mines at shop

vast oriole

livid fossil
#

Nothing will be as juiced as ignite

elder solar
#

livid fossil
#

That was just crazy

obsidian valve
#

yep testing classes was fun

Amazon changed how trusted status is obtained, the old way is "You need steam trusted / non limited and enabling 2fa on steam guard app", it's now an in-house system not reliant on steam. All the info they have given us on how to get it is "Play the game and you get it eventually".

outer mason
#

if you want to do a field boss with someone, you'll both need to be on the same server

stable needle
#

yes im inanna T_T

west valley
obsidian valve
#

yeah the reason we're saying all this is because field bosses aren't like separate instances with cross-server matchmaking and shouldn't rely too much on it for early maps - they added arkesia tour to help with the drops from those field bosses early on so best to just focus on story really and use arkesia tour for any drops you need from adventure tome for the most part

dreamy bluff
#

for the pet training system. does the pet have to be a legendary pet to be able to get legendary abilities? i feel like the answer is yes but wanted to be sure

west valley
stable needle
# west valley rip

its okay. i just wanna do my adventure tome and collect stuff. idc about drops. its just fun to me and im wierd like that. but thank you for trying.

dreamy bluff
#

anyone knows what the BiS pet ranch options for dps and support are?
i think im done for dps and want to start with my support options

obsidian valve
#

that's what we mean by drops, the only important drops from field bosses are for adventure tome iirc lol

dreamy bluff
#

this what i have right now

obsidian valve
#

except i think later they give some runes but meh

#

they added a lot of those to tour too i think

west valley

i got the strength one day 1. got the demon one last week and the add-dmg one just now

west valley
lavish mortar
obsidian valve
#

sounds right KEKW

dreamy bluff
obsidian valve
#

ah nice, did you pay gold to get it?

dreamy bluff
#

yea. but the success of legandary for it is too low. i think out of maybe 10 times only 2-3times i got legendary so i stopped trying for it

obsidian valve
#

yeah, i'm always scared to try for the ones using gold, especially since i'm still honing alts lol, but my destro is 1600 now so when he's 1620 i might start trying that for legendary Thar mokokoEZThumbsup

dreamy bluff
#

oh shit. i think i had the max hp one but rerolled it trying to get a legendary dps option

obsidian valve
#

(yep i said destro lol, just being weird and trying it out KEKDog )

dreamy bluff
#

lol

obsidian valve
#

dang lol

dreamy bluff
#

only reason i went for the gold ones i cause im not really honing so i have alot of gold gatering dust(and im also not buying accs which i should be doing)

obsidian valve
#

rage for raids

obsidian valve
#

i'll probably stop honing alts with the destro, then at some point go back to honing summoner but not til much later i think

#

kinda taking a break right now from grinding really

lavish mortar
#

Honing without express makes me depressed ngl

obsidian valve
lavish mortar
#

I love spending 100k+ on my main for artisans

dreamy bluff
#

also started playing passively so i was like why not since im not really doing honing sessions. (my main is already 1695 so it can stay there for a while)
my next option would be to push my support to 1670 which i probably will but still debating on artist or aero. both 1660

obsidian valve
#

right? lol. pretty sure i spent over 300k from 1580-1620 on sorc 🥴

dreamy bluff
#

honestly honing 1680-1620 raw feels way more expensive then 1640 - 1680

#

especially the 1605-1620 pushh. that part is just pain without express

obsidian valve
lavish mortar
#

You get a lot of power gain from elixirs and trans along the way at least....

dreamy bluff
#

i had some left over alts from past express at 1590 and thought i could push them to 1620 but i gave up at 1605. just reaching there made me cry

obsidian valve
#

yeah and elixirs are a little less time-consuming now, just wish they would've kept the option to reset them lol

dreamy bluff
#

i havent tried the reworked transc yet but i did try to new elixir and its nice and shit at the same time

outer mason
#

transcendence is just better than the previous system in every way

#

there are still times where it's frustrating as hell, but at least there's 0 strategy to it

obsidian valve
#

transc update is better, but still way too expensive if you don't have tickets lol

dreamy bluff
#

the random rolls are rough since just that pretty much make 80% of the elixirs i was doing garbage. would have been better if the random rolles didnt also select exclusive stuff like hands and head stuff

#

at least the previous option the chances of getting an exclusive piece combo with atk/wep/str was pretty high now its like 10% or lower

obsidian valve
#

yeah choosing which bonuses to affix was better on old elixirs instead of having ones randomly attached except last bonus now, all they did was lessen the attempts to finish transmuting otherwise lol

#

and i guess fused some of the advice options together

dreamy bluff
#

yea the transmuting part is kinda nice. the choosing option got worse sadly

#

i guess its cheaper now so i guess people can craft more

obsidian valve
#

yeah the advice options are a little worse in most areas, but i guess it's nice that they removed some of the negative effects from them

#

it's just less time-consuming overall i noticed - less to think about when trying to choose something

dreamy bluff
#

i think i went through like 20-30 elixirs and only 1 was an upgrade. all i needed was a 5/3 helm

obsidian valve
#

lol yep, it does result in way more trash elixirs now

#

they should've kept that reset option really

dreamy bluff
#

i mean it iss way faster and more then 3/5 of those were trashed before i could even start due to shit rolls

dreamy bluff
vast oriole
#

yeah

#

i have water dmg reduction for brel

#

for the meme

#

but i dont even think it matters

obsidian valve
#

lol can't hurt

rose jewel
fluid edge

rose jewel

fluid edge
#

the old answer

rose jewel
#

#

fluid edge
#

sorry i didnt see you answer ahah

rose jewel
#

#

PLEASE dont cut out screenshot

livid fossil
#

guide tab has red dot

rose jewel
#

show the WHOLE screen

livid fossil
#

hmm

fluid edge
rose jewel
#

bro, the guide tab on J

fluid edge
rose jewel
#

so my early answer (which you completely ignored dead ) was right

#

you havent reached the continent

#

just sail there

fluid edge
#

but i remember i talk to the guy

#

who give me quest

#

but say me i need 635 power

rose jewel
#

and what item level are you currently

fluid edge
#

now i'm 635

rose jewel
#

you said you already were 635

#

well

#

go there

fluid edge
#

ye but i dont remember where is lol

#

i go there 1 day ago

rose jewel
#

M

fluid edge
#

when i had 500 item power

rose jewel
#

right click on the map until it zooms out

#

i'll show you a life hack

fluid edge
rose jewel
#

press M, bottom center, right option

#

click ready to sail

#

then when youre out press set sail, and then M again

#

fk i forgot the auto sail keys

fluid edge
rose jewel
#

alt right click?

#

thats the same picture

#

you didnt go out to the ocean

fluid edge
rose jewel
#

good

#

zoom out the map again

#

spot "ROHENDEL"

#

then Alt + click an area near ROHENDEL

manic quarry
#

I see land

fluid edge
#

ah ok thanks! so u think the quest dont appear

#

becouse i never go on rohendel

rose jewel
#

the quest is literally right there

#

but yes, blue quests only appear when you actually are, physically, in the continent

#

the guide quest is the one that guides you, thus the name

#

"Where to go and what you need"

#

you really really should pay attention to them

#

i know reading sucks and no one does it

#

but you should

#

also try to complete all the guide quests you can and read them all

#

they are important information about the game systems

#

most of them take like 1 minute to finish

frigid rover
#

is there any difference when choosing any of this ? or is just aesthetic ?

lunar brook
#

They have different set bonus but you can freely convert between them after a short guide quest

#

exactly which one you want is in your class guide

fluid edge
#

ye ok thanks! i will read them, i just do main story for now not guide quest

frigid rover
lunar brook
#

Probably

gusty kettle
#

you can go hallu or nightmare

lunar brook
#

Shhh don't mention nightmare

frigid rover
faint root
#

is the only way to get master craft kit from excavating treasure chests now? no more maps, etc

gusty kettle
#

nightmare requires you to pres your awaken at the very beginning of a fight and doesn't crit as often so it has more variance in damage

#

hallucination is good out of the box but has less variance so may not get big high numbers as often

shy chasm
#

nightmare is

#

50 crit swift

#

hally is full swift

gusty kettle
#

depends on class

lunar brook
#

nightmare also helps with mana problems

shy chasm
#

what

lunar brook
#

Wait

frigid rover
#

which one is more recomended for someone who doesnt know what their doing ?

lunar brook
#

yeah it does

gusty kettle
#

probably hallucination

lunar brook
#

wf can run out of mana without c&j

gusty kettle
#

i run hallu on my aero got slight mana issues but i also use a lot of runes to get around it

fluid edge
#

addios i will die

#

in t he sea

lunar brook
#

No you dno't

gusty kettle
#

you could go around the dead sea

lunar brook
#

In fact you sail a fair bit faster with 0 durability

gusty kettle
#

alt click to make way points

fluid edge
#

is late ahaha but ye i dont die

frigid rover
gusty kettle
#

u will have mana issues if ur full swift hallu if u dont have good runes

#

you'll need conviction, judgment, and focus runes

rose jewel
# fluid edge

doesnt matter you repair when you get to the continent

rose jewel
#

also read your class guide

#

you will want to get the correct skills, tripods, runes, engravings and combat stats

#

Hello, I am new to the game. Enjoying it so far! I am stuck on the quest entitled: Strengthen gear by Honing. I kinda used my rewards to hone everything to +15. There is nothing showing up on the honing screen. How do I complete the quest?

rose jewel
#

you accepted the quest on the guide tab right?

#

are you tracking it

ivory dome
#

yes its showing on the list at the right

#

"roster quest"

balmy plank
rose jewel
#

you honed your items before accepting the quest?

livid fossil
#

Is that growth quest

ivory dome
#

yes i probably honed without the quest active

balmy plank
#

I just did this quest. You just have to tap 1 time as an introductory quest to honing

#

If youre 1580, youll need gold

rose jewel
#

try to hone again later when you get mats

ivory dome
#

The issue is there is nothing to tap the window is blank

rose jewel
#

?

#

oh, what item level are you

#

it may be purple gear at 1490

ivory dome
#

1100

rose jewel
#

oh well

ivory dome
#

I am item level 1100

livid fossil
#

So he probably honed to max on his gear

rose jewel
#

have you completed all the previous continent's msq?

#

rohendel, yorn, feiton, punika

ivory dome
#

I have to travel to rohendel

#

I was thinking maybe find another piece of gear and then hone it

#

is that possible?

rose jewel
#

yes but

#

not recommended

#

just go, clear all your story, get the new gear and then finish it when you get to tier 3

ivory dome
#

i only need to do it once then delete the item dont need it

livid fossil
#

Just wait till you get your next set of gear

rose jewel
#

any kind of honing material you get right now will be useless 100%

#

as you maxed your gear and you will need to get new one that requires new materials

#

and you cant trade or upgrade your current ones

#

just ignore the quest for now

#

and if its a guide quest, its whatever then

#

even less reasons

ivory dome
#

I hope the quest isnt required though,

rose jewel
#

it is not

#

otherwise

ivory dome
#

oh nice

rose jewel
#

how could you hone your gear

ivory dome
#

I think i got the mats from login rewards or something

#

i still have a bunch left

rose jewel
#

my point is

#

if the honing quest was required so you could hone

#

how did you hone without the quest finished

#

just ignore it

ivory dome
#

no clue, maybe it wasnt required

rose jewel
#

finish it later

ivory dome
#

I dont know, but anyways thanks for all the advice and help!

#

much appreciated 🙂

someone has the same issue or had I did the questline for echidna and the npcs say me and armen encountered her and beat her up until she vanished but I am pretty sure I never did that in the quest someone know if I somehow skiped that?

Hey guys i need to ask u, cause i came back to play and i have now like 1415 gs, but its so hard to make upgrade, do any guardian raids or dungeons, because there are no much players with my gs. So how to play with that? its better to create new char? pls help

gusty kettle
#

do u have the free powerpass and is your account trusted?

#

can you collect the playtime rewards top left

true grove
#

need to check that

gusty kettle
#

the powerpass will skip you to 1580 where most starting players are right now, you need trusted to use it

true grove
#

seems good

#

im launching the game

vast oriole
#

youre prob not trusted so dont have too much hopes

true grove
#

i have smth like event powerpass in options

gusty kettle
#

considering hes 1415 maybe

vast oriole
#

screenshot it

true grove
rose jewel
#

not the right menu, click event

gusty kettle
#

use powerpass and see if you have the south kurzan one

true grove
#

yea south kurzan is working

#

ty so much

gusty kettle
#

ok, so either use it on that character or start a fresh character

#

1415 is pretty far into the early game so u may wanna just make another since that gives you the option of multiple

vast oriole
#

btw on your 1415 char, you have access to valtan and valtan has a solo mode

#

guardians are dead at that ilevel

#

and chaos is solo anyway

gusty kettle
#

yes, you will probably not find anybody to raid with until you get to 1540 minimum, probably 1580+

vast oriole
#

even 1580

#

i would say nothing before t4

#

people dont take 1610s in thaemine normal

true grove
#

got it

mellow mauve
#

I would still just solo till 1600 or 1610

gusty kettle
#

it's also monday, most people raid on wednesday to friday

mellow mauve
#

not worth the jail

vast oriole
#

^

true grove
#

thank u for all advices

livid fossil
#

is the wandering merchant item for food is it super are south K like getting a card from them

gusty kettle
#

that doesnt make a completely coherent question

#

the wandering merchants have random items, most things are not there all of the time

#

i assume u mean cooking items

livid fossil
#

yes

gusty kettle
#

purified water?

livid fossil
#

flame pudding

gusty kettle
#

i see, thats north kurzan not south

livid fossil
#

my bad

#

i thought i was in zone i nmy head

gusty kettle
#

is that the one u need to buy the mysterious map from wandering merchant?

jade berry
#

yo whats the best t4 lifeskil gold wise?

livid fossil
#

yeah

gusty kettle
#

imo lifeskills is more about time than maximizing gold

jade berry
#

so any i do is fine?

gusty kettle
#

yes, but some are faster than others

jade berry
#

gotcha

#

thanks

gusty kettle
#

ive heard the most gold per energy is hunting, but can't confirm. Logging with 2 people is easily the fastest, then execavation solo i believe.

#

however, you gotta also consider world leaves if you care about those, so doing them all is fine

livid fossil
#

and the another story is only on reset day for the second part

#

vain daydreams

gusty kettle
#

are you looking at maxroll's guide on north kurzan?

livid fossil
#

yes

gusty kettle
#

i think yeah u have to do it over multiple days

livid fossil
#

ok i got that one it was just a hidden item to click on

livid fossil
#

north K black smoke folklore i cant find te first one

#

,max well shows the dot but it isn't there

#

nvm people qwere standding by it

stiff light
#

S1 and S2 Yoz jar will be back in the market? I would like to create the S1 Gunlancer skin but when i checked the f4 i don't find Yoz jar: Promise (S1) just th new one ''Eternity'' (S3). Idk if this is the correct place to post it. Thanks

if anyone can asnwer quickly, theres 2 bundles in shop for these another one is like 330 or something for 15 pots, sadly it's not in the shop for me rn, if I buy this am I losing money?

rose jewel
#

depends on your tools and life skill lvs, but people have said usually its a win with good both

distant escarp
#

I c

rose jewel
#

or even decent, depending on the current blues conversion (which needs to be very high for you to lose)

distant escarp
#

I will go for this for now then

#

coversion is 4.3k gold for 95 crystals, bough6t it anyway

gusty kettle
#

thats like 30k energy for maybe 10k gold ish? seems bad deal to me

#

would have to estimate if 3 energy = 1 gold tho

#

might be fine tbh

distant escarp
#

it's still less gold than buying orehas from ah so I will take it Ig

gusty kettle
#

time is money, can earn some gold doing other things too

#

kinda why i do daily kurzan front instead of rested

distant escarp
#

not doing it for money, gonna use the orehas myself

gusty kettle
#

gotcha, as long as its worth it, kinda curious how much lifeskill energy is worth in gold too tbh

rose jewel
#

@jagged zinc should actually know a lot more about this

gusty kettle
#

taht the dude that has all the images of lifeskill tools?

livid fossil
#

i must of been booted out balthor cause i was doing no dmg to her Sadge

jagged zinc
#

the value of life skill potions (granted you're not stronghold farming them) is so ridiculously high that you always should buy them if you do life skill

gusty kettle
#

k i guess i gotta do some math myself then

dull leaf
#

the potions r the only thing I buy in Mari shop nowKEKW

jagged zinc
#

there are too many variables to be able to math it out quickly or effectively

gusty kettle
#

think u could get a fair estimate just using 10k energy and seeing how much u get then value that in gold

jagged zinc
#

thats based off your stuff

#

and current market

gusty kettle
#

k i'll assume that my stuff is only slightly better than average and market doesn't flucuate constantly

jagged zinc
#

market changes on a daily and people have vastly different stats when it comes to strongholds and life skill stats

gusty kettle
#

i mean if i buy the potions and use all of them thats like what 30-60k energy can figure out better estimate

distant escarp
#

wtf is this now

gusty kettle
#

could be bots eating up server resources, been happening on thaemine a lot latey

#

if i ocean liner to shushire or rohendel theres a bot every 5 seconds and takes me like 30-60 seconds to load the zone

distant escarp
#

first time yhappended to me

#

but I did see some bots on kurzan port

livid fossil
#

is that why i some times get blue circle loading thingy cause dam bots

gusty kettle
#

could be, osmetimes its just a busy zone if its world boss

livid fossil
#

Wait we getting karma or I won’t see that until I get ark passive

gusty kettle
#

Karma comes from Brelshaza 1670 later this month

livid fossil
#

Ah ok

gusty kettle
#

new system like Elixir Transcendence, gold sink that isnt honing

livid fossil
#

oh greakt

#

great

wet dagger
#

What exactly does this do in stronghold? it says "56 level section battle xp - 50% acquisition"

#

does that mean using the stronghold training takes 50% less time to get from 55 to 56?

gusty kettle
#

isnt it +?

balmy plank
#

Its just general xp gain for alts now

wet dagger
#

yeah sorry +50

gusty kettle
#

i think that's just 50% more combat XP

wet dagger
#

so its useless?

#

what level does that thing go upto

#

all my characters are 60+

gusty kettle
#

sure, but it might be required for other research

#

my stronghold goes up to +9 which i think is 58-59

#

unsure if theres one after that

#

actually theres one for +10 as well 59-60, not seeing one for 60+

livid fossil
#

missed click hyper and did no dmg with it damit cost me dealry

valid helm
#

Until I changed HA bind

livid fossil
livid fossil
#

SO CLOSE

#

he was at less than hLfbar

#

should thew dark bomb

#

dmmit

valid helm
#

Which was annoying since I kept using HA when trying to toggle it off when typing

#

So I moved bind to mouse button

gusty kettle
#

i hate how autowalk is capslock now

#

but its still T on a boat

livid fossil
#

hmm

#

do i need to change stagger buff to side real

#

for more juice

valid helm
#

I use auto run quite a bit

#

So I had to put it back to T

livid fossil
#

I don’t understand how balthor works I know it’s like dps check maybe I need to look at her bar cause she I need to take down right

gusty kettle
#

g1 thaemine?

#

i dont know solo mode, but i think its x38 in basement when she pulls out her claws

#

thats when the eyes look at a spot

keen magnet
#

so i just got back am at brel level any tips for coming back/wtf is going on with engravings

gusty kettle
#

theres engraving support now which gives you free 5x3

paper glacier
#

besides no texture streaming is there an alternative that doesnt fuck over game load time but also speed up in game loading?

gusty kettle
#

download install more ram

paper glacier
#

surely lost ark and discord does not need 16gb in the first place

#

and a 8700k is surely enough for lost ark being the only game open 💀

wet moss
#

That thing is Ancient DDR 4 deadge

valid helm
gusty kettle
#

not far off from my current

valid helm
#

I have a 50/50 chance of blue screening when launching or switching between gates

valid helm
gusty kettle
#

i7 87k think i have 1080gtx

valid helm
#

The 1080 is still a beast

#

It’s just my cpu being cooked

gusty kettle
#

i need more ram

strong moat
#

@valid helm you have to remember that lost ark runs on Unreal engine 3, it's hella unoptimised so if you have a weaker system you should expect longer load times and maybe even crashes

#

hell even on my PC the game sometimes decides to just nuke itself

valid helm
#

I have new one where I live

#

My current pc is juiced I’m good UwU

strong moat
torpid marsh
#

Do we know if the female Pala is going to be 100% sup? Or there's a slight chance it could be DPS?

strong moat
valid helm
#

We don’t really know much about her except that she will be versatile

#

It will he prolly be close to regular pally

strong moat
#

it's a gender unlock, so it's will probably be very similar to the normal paladin

gusty kettle
#

they gonna make the dps build viable

#

in raids

strong moat
#

well DPS pala is kinda viable already

gusty kettle
#

still bottom tier

#

they want female palla to be decent

torpid marsh
#

As long as it falls behind DPS classes, it won't be as popular. Maybe in the first few months because of FOMO.

gusty kettle
#

nah i expect it to be mid tier

#

average

torpid marsh
#

CO summoner tier?

#

Because last time I've seen this class once was months ago 🌚

gusty kettle
#

maybe aero tier

torpid marsh
#

Aero is kinda decent

gusty kettle
#

their reasoning is they dont want every1 to make one and then have too many sup gatekept

#

so maybe bring them as dps role and have other sup

#

could possibly mean they have a diff synnergy skill as sup

torpid marsh
#

I wouldn't mind 50/50

#

Less buffs, more dmg

#

Might be useful for lower level raids

gusty kettle
#

hopefully shes not front attacker GL style

latent night
#

is it a bad time to play the game as a new player?

gusty kettle
#

depends

#

u gonna be playing solo a lot

#

not a new player friendly game but if u can handle playhing solo most of the time u'll be ok at first

latent night
#

are you a f2p player or drop a few dabloons every now and then?

gusty kettle
#

ive spent $250 on card packs and maybe $100 on blue crystals and another $200 on cosmetics

latent night
#

thats not bad

#

i dont mind dropping money but all ive seen is that you need to drop $1000's of dollars to progress

gusty kettle
#

nah, u mainly need ppl to play with early on because they will gatekeep based on what they perceive as ur experience

#

and since u new, they expect you to suck and die

latent night
#

ive played a bit before like around 200+ hrs but i consider myself new since i forgot everything

#

do you need a 4 man for most content?

gusty kettle
#

usually 8man

latent night
gusty kettle
#

16man for behemoth

#

abyssals are 4man, but they havent done those since 1600 ilvl

#

legion raid 8man, epic 16

latent night
#

that actually sounds impossible to get in

valid helm
#

No they fill fast

gusty kettle
#

tbh ppl are more willing to take scrubs at 16

#

but thats cuz its farm content

latent night
#

i see

latent walrus
gusty kettle
#

but yeah its kinda recommended that you solo mode up to 1640

#

but that really depends if u can find ppl to group with

valid helm
#

I still do solo mode on one 1640 because I’m lazy

gusty kettle
#

that dont suck

latent night
#

so to climb past 1640 thats when you need to do those 8 man raids?

gusty kettle
#

can still solo 8man

#

the 16 u cant

latent night
#

oh okay

gusty kettle
#

gold difference is large tho

#

for solo

latent night
#

sorry for bombarding you with questions i really want to get back into this game but i also dont want to just not be able to do most of the endgame content

gusty kettle
#

vs hard mode

latent night
#

yeah i read about that

latent walrus
gusty kettle
#

its kinda rough if u dont have alts

#

since u need titles to get groups

#

and experience comes with playing same content over and over

latent walrus
#

its a slow process, been there done that

latent night
#

is static like a consistent group?

gusty kettle
#

static is ppl that play every week together

latent night
#

i see

gusty kettle
#

not required for low level stuff but will be for latest content

#

well not required there either but will probably be a crap shoot

latent walrus
gusty kettle
#

anyway, best catchup system in the game is powerpasses and expresses

#

they come every 3-4 months

#

powerpass skips your character to a decent point in the story and progression

#

xpress speeds up future progression on that character for a short time

latent night
latent walrus
#

ignite server was best, you were a few months late, auto 1640 with decent gold rewards to keep

gusty kettle
#

you can use both powerpass and express on same character, or diff ones

latent night
#

are they gonna have something like the ignite server anytime soon or no?

gusty kettle
#

not announced, but never know

#

current assumption is maybe with kazeros or female pally

latent night
#

i guess i just gotta thug it out if i want to play from scratch

gusty kettle
#

could be 6 months

valid helm
#

We get a juiced express next month tho

#

With wildsoul

gusty kettle
#

yeah i figure it will be slightly better than current express

latent night
gusty kettle
#

I think it's worth spending maybe $50 on the game for blue crystals just for QOL, otherwise cosmetics

valid helm
#

I’m definitely not close to being f2p

latent night
gusty kettle
#

blue crystals get you more stash space, more presets, more card space, ship skin

#

i have 13 characters in T4, 4 are at 1680 almost all the rest 1660

valid helm
#

Eh, just get aura with it

#

Prolly most useful thing for its price

gusty kettle
#

i never use aura

valid helm
#

Do you hate yourself

latent night
#

damn and youve only dropped like $300

valid helm
#

Or what

gusty kettle
#

was like $500-600

#

but half of that was cuz i have 2 rosters

latent night
#

not considering the cosmetics and stuff

gusty kettle
#

and i was getting gatekept on alt, so i just said fkit bought cards

latent night
#

i think ill finally cave and slave away again

gusty kettle
#

decent time to get into the game

#

ignite was the best ofc

#

i just mean that new players are getting prioritized a lot more atm

#

lot of changes to systems to make it less painful

latent night
#

yeah i really like that you can do stuff solo

gusty kettle
#

they also nerfed transcendence and elixirs making them far less annoying

#

awful systems to come in as new player

valid helm
#

Old elixirs and trans with 0 nerfs

#

Made me lose my sanity

#

I’m still suffering from ptsd to this day

gusty kettle
#

yeah i woke up my household multiple nights cuz of them

valid helm
#

Cus old elixirs can be a dud before u even start cutting them

gusty kettle
#

they still can be

valid helm
#

Imagine doing content getting 4 shots at upgrading and u dud before u even start

gusty kettle
#

tbh i feel like new elixirs is worse, but thats cuz there's less of a system to doing it now

latent night
#

what are elixirs?

gusty kettle
#

its still super RNG 25% chance of +4 on something

#

its a progression system that gives you power

#

gives you a set bonus, damage

valid helm
#

I’d take that

gusty kettle
#

new trans is good, new elixirs kinda 50:50 on

#

if they let you pick like 2 rows i'd think it was better

#

but since its 1 row...

latent night
#

are there any classes you guys recommend staying away from or anything is fine?

gusty kettle
#

depends on ur style

#

all classes can be used, dont think any1 is gatekept cuz of class but some builds are better than others

ornate onyx
gusty kettle
#

oh, thats another reason i hate new elixirs

#

u cant reset them half way thru anymore, so the free ones u cant start over anymore

ornate onyx
#

idk i've done it on 3 chars now since coming back

#

have besically perfect elixirs on all of them

#

and still got tons of boxes sitting in storage on each char

gusty kettle
#

maybe ur lucky

ornate onyx
#

silver ones that is

gusty kettle
#

some chars i had awful luck, others i have good luck

#

i was trying to change my supports from Faith to Luminary last week and failed miserably

ornate onyx
#

idk feels like a system you just prio 40set, and then click some for perfect lines whenever you get free ones from events etc

gusty kettle
#

getting 40sum probably easier

#

min-maxing ur elixirs no

ornate onyx
#

not worth spending gold on anymore

valid helm
#

my main still only has 49 sum

gusty kettle
#

wasnt ez to minmax before anyway, but the fact that you can get stuck with trash rolls that lock you out of set bonuses...

#

maybe i'll change my mind with wildsoul

#

when i have to do elixirs AGAIN for the 16th time

latent night
vast oriole
gusty kettle
#

uh

vast oriole
#

I would prob add deathblade to it too

gusty kettle
#

pally = eziest class in game, bard is hard

#

as for getting groups, currently 1640 as sup is a nightmare, but with wildsoul it might be ez

vast oriole
#

Please dont play support just because u want to have easy group

gusty kettle
#

i mean, its a cheap alt

#

not a bad choice to get into groups

#

learn the content

vast oriole
#

It doesnt work anymore, most people have alts supports and only very endgame got a support shortage

gusty kettle
#

wait for wild soul

latent night
#

whats wild soul

gusty kettle
#

next class coming february

#

basically a loli summoner class

latent walrus
#

make a 1 gem dps class

gusty kettle
#

can turn into a fox or ugly bear

latent night
#

lol

valid helm
latent night
#

artist isnt a dps class right?

valid helm
latent night
#

damn

vast oriole
#

Make aero, easy class

#

And shes wanted

gusty kettle
#

play wat u like

latent walrus
gusty kettle
#

remaining energy is tho

#

still viable to play any class

latent walrus
gusty kettle
#

altho i will say some classes much easier than others

#

theres a reason i have like 4 paladins

#

and 2 SE

#

ez and good

#

really is too bad ignite isnt perma

#

should just have that server there forever to test crap

valid helm
#

a test server would go hard

latent night
#

i know my main the last time i played was a bard but idk if ima keep playing her when my game finishes installing

gusty kettle
#

i have a bard, shes fine

#

just harder to play than other sup

vast oriole
#

She sucks

#

Too many mana issues

#

Not worth the hassle

gusty kettle
#

just go max mp

vast oriole
#

As if maxmp is enough

#

I go oom with 3 mana engravings

gusty kettle
#

i have no mana issues on mine but im ark passive 1680

vast oriole
#

Because you have shit uptime

gusty kettle
#

rofl

valid helm
#

Arna with the morning heat

#

Just push your bard to 1700 arna

vast oriole
#

Why 1700

gusty kettle
#

do u run mp furnace or something? i run standing striker on all my sup

valid helm
#

Because 16xx is ugly

vast oriole
#

Standing striker isnt a good idea when you prog a new raid aka brel soon

gusty kettle
#

sure

vast oriole
#

And i was ooming before t4

#

With maxmp and ms

gusty kettle
#

yeah well u will oom with T skill before T4

vast oriole
#

Without mp furnace

gusty kettle
#

even my pally oom

latent night
#

is souleater good for someone new?

vast oriole
#

Im talking t3 before t skill...

#

And im 1680 on my bard....

vast oriole
gusty kettle
#

soul eater is the most popular and OP class currently

#

way more souleaters than any other dps class

#

kind of an issue if u lfg since a lot of leads wont take u if theres already 2 in group

latent night
#

yeah thats what im trying to avoid lol

#

well thats if i even reach that point

gusty kettle
#

well thats gonna be a thing with wild soul probably soon

#

gonna be groups with like 4 wild souls

#

soul eater is good cuz its got decent mobility, high burst, and not crappy counter

#

counter and push immunity on her are also lower priority, so u can kinda hold them when u need em

latent night
#

the gameplay looks dope for soul eater

jagged zinc
#

Then pick her

gusty kettle
#

its a good class ofc, hasnt seen nerfs yet

paper walrus
#

not picking a class because it got nerfed

#

just pick a class if you want to play it

#

any class is fine

gusty kettle
#

already said that

latent night
#

im just making it harder for myself for no reason

gusty kettle
#

play what you like, all classes viable but some harder than others

latent night
#

but yeah ima play her

latent night
lapis pendant
#

how much would upgrading my gems on supports matter not counting the cd decreases

gusty kettle
#

depends on class

lapis pendant
#

artist

gusty kettle
#

looks fine

#

not gonna help much

lapis pendant
#

i see

gusty kettle
#

better off spending on accessories or honing

subtle helm
#

Unless you're min-maxing as a matter of support pride, looks good enough already

gusty kettle
#

lvl 8 gem does look a lot better but doesnt matter much on sup anyway

#

except for the damage buffs

#

pally needs the cooldowns tho

lapis pendant
#

yeah

subtle helm
#

The increase in support per gem level is less than dps. But because support contribution is higher than dps in raid, the overall raid contribution improvement ends up being around the same

gusty kettle
#

yeah the damage gem aint much

lapis pendant
#

i did watch the video

#

its like 1% and its not even for all your skills

#

oh wait im thinking of accesorries

#

nvm

gusty kettle
#

just wait for karma ull regret spending on gems

vast oriole
#

I have 2 8cd 4 7cd 3 7dmg and 2 5cd on my artist

#

But your gems are fine

lapis pendant
#

i guess i should probably been 1660 forever

#

xd

vast oriole
#

Oh if youre 1660 then its even too much gems xD

#

Im 1690

subtle helm
#

3xlv7 attck on buff skills, 2xlv8 CD on AP buff skills and rest lv5 is pretty much the standard

lapis pendant
#

its an alt roster with 3 artists

gusty kettle
#

my pally alt 1660 using bound gems and lvl 5 T4 dmg

#

xd

lapis pendant
#

is what it is

gusty kettle
#

sup shortage, no1 cares

subtle helm
#

SG too much of a pussy to put up support contribution as a % on MVP screen

vast oriole
#

1660 isntsupportshortage

gusty kettle
#

its slightly shortage on my server

vast oriole
gusty kettle
#

but yes nowhere near 1680

vast oriole
#

Because even if you have way better uptime than the other sup, if you have shit dps in your group, you get noble

gusty kettle
#

xd

vast oriole
#

Its everything shortage on naw

subtle helm
vast oriole
#

Dead region

gusty kettle
#

arna woke up and forgot her coffee

vast oriole
#

I never drink coffee

#

But its true

#

Sadly naw is way more empty than nae and euc

#

Still hoping ags merge them

subtle helm
#

too afraid of losing all the SEA players on NAW for that

gusty kettle
#

SEA does lot of RMT then they get -1mil gold and have to buy themselves outa the hole

#

makes big $ for AGS

latent night
#

whats rmt?

gusty kettle
#

buying gold thru 3rd party

latent night
#

is that a better bang for your buck than spending ur dabloons in game?

gusty kettle
#

if u like the potential of temp bans and negative gold down the road

latent night
#

damn they put your ass in debt?

gusty kettle
#

yep

#

most of the RMTers i know have been hit with negative gold at some point

#

but the small spenders didnt

latent night
#

damn that sucks for them but they knew the risks lol

gusty kettle
#

pretty sure it still ends up cheaper for them in the end

latent night
#

im surprised they dont perma ban

gusty kettle
#

its jsut the temp bans that can really screw u

subtle helm
#

Negative gold basically bricks your account its not much different from a perma ban. Can't trade, can't bid on auctions, can't hone

gusty kettle
#

can still raid and make it back

subtle helm
#

yeah but if you can go back to positive in 3-4 weeks then you didn't rmt that much to begin with

gusty kettle
#

or they just didnt catch all ur RMTing

subtle helm
#

Yeah but you don't know what % of rmt they'll catch

#

its not like people rmt 10mil expecting to take an exact 20% penalty or something

#

so its not like people are making calcuated rmt decisions to "still work out cheaper"

latent night
#

im na west are these servers still active or no?

gusty kettle
#

i dont really know why ppl do it, jsust that they do

subtle helm
#

Still active... kinda

#

most raiding is done first 3-4 days of week, if you leave things later you will struggle

#

And a lot of activity in SEA timezone, australian players etc

#

not so much in the early afternoon PST time

latent night
#

you play on west?

subtle helm
#

Yes

gusty kettle
#

i do

#

ppl active at this time to get their early chaos dungeon in before its gone

latent night
#

when ur matchmaking does it matchmake with both servers or only within the server your in?

subtle helm
#

both servers

its all servers in region generally

#

the only thing that is server specific nowadays is field boss

latent night
#

oh okay cause i have 3 characters in Brelshaza

gusty kettle
#

chaos gate I meant

subtle helm
#

Field boss, trading, mailing and whisper are the only things that are server restricted. everything else is pretty much region wide.

Pretty sure chaos gate is region wide.

gusty kettle
#

true, cant trade directly or join guilds across servers

#

whisper u can do cross server but only on friends list

vast oriole
#

You can whisper people from other servers if they are in friendlist

gusty kettle
#

unsure why that is a thing

latent night
#

how many players can be in a guild?

gusty kettle
#

100 or more

vast oriole
#

100

latent night
#

im assuming the guild you guys are in are very competitive

vast oriole
#

Guild is roster wide now

#

Im in a full guild

#

100/100

#

50 people online

gusty kettle
#

no guild is competative

#

its just a place to earn bloodstones for most ppl

#

really awful system

latent night
#

ah i see

gusty kettle
#

join any guild thats level 25 imo

#

or above that

#

can switch later if u dont like it

vast oriole
#

Ye they removed the gve and gvg

latent night
#

i just dont know if to go into Brelshaza or Thaemine in regards for guilds later down the road

gusty kettle
#

considering ur alreayd on brel

#

might a well stay

latent night
#

for sure

subtle helm
#

brelshaza is a hot demoness and thaemine is an edgelord

#

choice seems obvious
